Financial Aid

Students in the Graduate Law or Straus Institute's degree programs have several financial
assistance options for funding their professional education. Extensive student loan
programs, as well as payment plans to spread tuition payments over the time students
are in school, are available. Additional information regarding financial aid can be
found at the Financial Aid site. Students participating in a joint degree program
with Straus need to refer to the financial aid department of their home university
for additional funding, including GSBM, GSEP, and SPP.

Scholarships

All applicants are considered for scholarships at the point of application. For additional
consideration, applicants can submit an scholarship statement outlining their circumstances
and financial need to be reviewed by the admissions committee.

Starting in 2013, Pepperdine received support from JAMS for a full-tuition scholarship
for Straus Institute LLM students pursuing the Concentration in International Commercial
Arbitration. Starting in 2014 the JAMS scholarship was expanded to include any of
the Straus LLM concentrations.

Starting in 2014, the Seegmiller Law Firm sponsored an LLM student from Korea, and
another from Europe pursuing their LLM in Dispute Resolution and can select from any
of the available concentrations.

Details on these scholarships, we well as external scholarship options can be found
on their respective scholarship and funding resources pages (LLM, MDR, Certificate).

Estimate of Expenses

The below list is an estimate of expenses for students pursuing an academic program
on a full-time basis. Programs are available on a part-time or full-time basis and
personal expenses will vary depending on circumstances.

Students electing to participate in the clinics and externships may need to budget
the additional expense of transportation. This may include the cost to purchase a
vehicle and insurance.

Health insurance is required for all degree seeking students, but the fee may be waived
with proof of insurance.

Room and Board are estimated expenses and will vary depending on on-campus or off-campus
options. Tuition and Health Insurance are the only charges paid to the university
directly if electing to live off-campus.
